Lightbulb Found aftermarket replacement wiper blades

I finally found the new-style frameless wipers for the FJ Cruiser without being taken to the cleaners by the dealer. Most aftermarket brands don't make a 14" that fits the center and right positions. The 'Trico NeoForm Beam Blade' is the ONLY one that comes in the 14" as well as 16" for the driver side. Came with removal and replacement instructions - easy install. They work great. Got them online.

Hope this helps others...

I've used the Rain-ex blades this winter. The single beam expensive ones (I can't think of the name, about $20) I had to cut off one end so they weren't too long, but it's easy to do. I imagine any of the single beam will work about the same. These are the only type of blades I could find that didn't freeze-up in the snow and ice, even the so called winter blades would only work with numerous stops to remove ice. I have recently seen several more brands come out with that design at a much cheaper price. "You got to love the free market." I will try them next when it's time to change blades.

As a follow-up to my post above, I just got an email from wipers123.com and Trico just announced a rebate program that runs through May 15th. $15 back on NeoForms. They also sent me an additional $5 instant coupon "springreturningcustomer" (orders over $30). Not sure when it expires... Godspeed

I'm not sure how many of you have been trying to buy neoforms the last couple of months but they've been out of stock pretty much everywhere. I just received an email from wipers123.com that they are now back in stock. Thought I'd spread the word - they're excellent wipers.
